Rejected petition Roll out mass testing for COVID-19

We want the Government to urgently roll out mass testing for COVID-19 as it is the only effective way to monitor the effectiveness of the Government’s measures to protect the population and ensure the quick and safe return of those who have recovered to the workforce.

More details

Dr Colin Hutchinson,of Doctors for the NHS, explains it very clearly:

The Government’s current approach is nonsensical and will not protect the population nor enable people to return safely to the workforce and support their employers. Action needs to be taken NOW!
